In the present embodiment, access point AP by least two site STAs send channel measurement trigger frame TF-S, wherein, The TF-S includes:Each STA sends the parameter configured information for the transmission parameter that the NDP is used;Further, Each described STA sends the parameter configured information for the transmission parameter that the NDP is used according to the STA carried in TF-S, Determine respective transmission parameter and transmission time, and respectively in the respective transmission time according to corresponding transmission parameter to described AP sends NDP;Further, the AP receives the NDP of STA transmissions described at least two (wherein, transmitted by each adjacent S TA NDP between without interframe space), and carry out channel measurement;It can be seen that, compared in the prior art, STA is only receiving poll It can just be sent after frame to AP in NDP mode, the embodiment of the present invention, the AP is sent after TF-S at least two STA at the same time, Each STA can automatically determine the transmission time for each sending NDP, and send NDP from AP described in trend in the corresponding transmission time, So as to shorten the time needed for channel measurement, channel measurement efficiency is improved.
Alternatively, the embodiment of the present invention can be applied in WLAN, for example with 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n and 802.11ac etc. for representative Wi-Fi systems in, also can apply with Wi-Fi systems of future generation or under In generation wireless local area network (WLAN) system, the present invention is not restricted to this.
On the basis of above-described embodiment, alternatively, also include in the TF-S:The corresponding carrier wave of each STA (such as STA M) Intercept instruction;The carrier sense indicates to be used to indicate whether the STA carries out carrier sense;Wherein, if the carrier sense Indicate that the STA (such as STA M) need not carry out carrier sense, then the STA (such as STA M) directly sends to the AP NDP;If the carrier sense indicates the STA (such as STA M) and carries out carrier sense, the STA (such as STA M) to The AP can carry out carrier sense before sending NDP and (can certainly be determined whether without carrier sense by the STA Carrier sense).1) alternatively, the TF-S includes a carrier sense instruction, and the carrier sense indicates to be used to indicate often Whether the individual STA carries out carrier sense, alternatively, and the carrier sense indicates that the common signaling domain of the TF-S can be carried on In;2) alternatively, the TF-S includes:Each corresponding carrier sense instruction of the STA (such as STA M), each STA Corresponding carrier sense indicates to be used to indicate whether corresponding STA carries out carrier sense, alternatively, and each STA is corresponding Carrier sense indicates to be carried in the common signaling domain of the TF-S, or be carried on each STA of the TF-S In signaling domain.Alternatively, the carrier sense includes Physical carrier sense and virtual carrier sensing in wireless network communication;Wherein, 1) physical carrier is detectd Listen and refer to that user (including AP and STA) needs to detect whether channels pending are idle before sending the information, if user detects Signal on to channel is that WiFi signal and its power are less than first threshold (such as -82dBm) or detected on channel and has Non- WiFi signal and its power are less than Second Threshold (such as -62dBm), then it is assumed that the channel idle to be sent;Conversely, then Think the channel busy to be sent;2) virtual carrier sensing in wireless network communication is the enhancing to Physical carrier sense, and its core concept is user One NAV (NAV is a timer) is set, when user receives the signal of other users, in order to protect other users Information exchange, duration (duration) information that the user includes in the signal according to the other users received come The NAV (NAV=duration is for example set) of itself, the NAV is set to reduce over time, the user reduces to 0 in NAV It is busy to think present channel before, therefore, when the user carries out carrier sense, only when Physical carrier sense and virtually When carrier sense all indicates channel for idle condition, just determine that present channel is idle.
Accordingly, STA M described in step 204 is sent in the transmission time according to the transmission parameter to the AP Before NDP, in addition to:
The STA M indicate to determine whether to carry out carrier sense according to the carrier sense;
The STA M send NDP according to the transmission parameter in the transmission time to the AP, including:
When the STA determines to carry out carrier sense, or determine to need to carry out carrier sense and intercepted result is letter When road is idle, the STA M send NDP according to the transmission parameter in the transmission time to the AP.
In the present embodiment, the STA M indicate to determine whether to carry out carrier sense according to the carrier sense;If 1) described Carrier sense indicates that the STA M need not carry out carrier sense, i.e., described STA M determine that carrier sense need not be carried out, then The STA M directly send NDP according to the transmission parameter in the transmission time to the AP;If 2) carrier sense refers to Show that the instruction STA M carry out carrier sense, then the STA M can carry out carrier sense before NDP is sent to the AP (can not certainly carrier sense, the STA M determine whether carrier sense);2a) when the STA M determine carrier sense and When it is determined that carrier sense result is channel idle, the STA M are in the transmission time according to the transmission parameter to described AP sends NDP;2b) when the STA M determine carrier sense, and carrier sense result is when being channel busy, then the STA M are not NDP is sent to the AP;2c) when the STA M are determined without carrier sense (without considering channel status), then STA M NDP is directly sent to the AP according to the transmission parameter in the transmission time.It can be seen that, the STA M can be detectd according to carrier wave Listen instruction determine whether carry out carrier sense, rather than every time send NDP before all carry out carrier sense, further shorten channel Time needed for measurement, so as to improve channel measurement efficiency
